Anyother form-of pump may be lused if preferred to the form shown, .without departing from the broad features of novelty set forth.

It will be notedithat there are no springs or parts likely to be deranged in this oo nstruction and that the construction permits of a large supply of ink in the reservoir and 'easy filling means.
